Costa Rica Retirement Videos

This short video was prepared by a videographer from National Geographic Magazine as part of a longer video about Costa Rica.

In case you don’t know, Costa Rica is Latin America’s #1 retirement haven and has more American residents proportionately than any other country outside of the United States. Most people who move here say their lifestyle is as good if not better than what they had back home. For sure it is more affordable.

The country’s overwhelming natural beauty, excellent low-cost health care system, year-round spring-like weather, friendly people, the oldest democracy in Latin America, a modern communications system, one of the hottest real estate markets in the world with a variety of housing options, excellent restaurants, the availability of U.S. products, all of the comforts of home at half of the cost and so much more make Costa Rica tops on the list of retirement havens.

If you are thinking of retirement the best way to see and learn about Costa Rica is on Christopher Howard’s highly acclaimed monthly Relocation/Relocation Tours (see Live in Costa Rica). All tours include a valuable two-day seminar by the country’s premier experts in their respective fields.

Christopher Howard is a pioneer and #1 authority in the field retirement in Costa Rica and has sold over 350,000 copies of his #1 best seller “The New Golden Door to Retirement and Living in Costa Rica”. Over the last 20 years he has personally helped tens of thousands of people relocate successfully to Costa Rica.
